Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Planning and Development (Exempted Development (Act of 2000)) Regulations 2025: Discussion

I have no challenge to any that. From a scrutiny point of view, however, it would be valuable, assuming that the exercise is finished, if the Department officials were able to provide the committee with a note on the outcome of that process or even a copy of the assessment. That would be useful. We are being asked to approve something in theory, by way of a motion in the Dáil tomorrow - and, again, I have no problem with that - without necessarily having sight of it. We have to give our imprimatur to tomorrow. The Minister gets the value of the outcome of the environmental assessment, so I think sending a note to the committee when it is complete would not be an unreasonable ask.
